Here’s the beautiful truth: You and your dog are a team, but not a germ-sharing one. You can sneeze on his head, drool on his paw, and blow your nose right into his ear (please don’t), and he will still be perfectly healthy, albeit slightly confused about your personal hygiene.
So next time you’re sick, don’t quarantine your buddy. Let him nestle up next to you. Let him be your hot, furry, breathing heating pad. He can’t catch what you have, and honestly? He doesn’t care if you’re a snotty mess. He just cares that you’re his human, and you’re staying put on the couch.
That’s the real vaccine—the unconditional, virus-proof love of a dog. So go ahead, sneeze once. He’ll wag his tail. You’re both going to be just fine.
